Laparoscopic Surgery

Laparoscopic surgery began to replace open surgery in the early 1990s when it was proven that the use of several tiny incisions in the abdomen was, for most procedures, very safe and yielded fewer potential complications then traditional open surgery. During laparoscopy, the abdomen is inflated with carbon dioxide gas and especially crafted long handled surgical devices are inserted through the abdomen. Using a high definition camera, Mr. Ahmed is able to visualise the surgical field and perform virtually any general surgical procedure. Today, almost all bariatric and general surgical procedures are performed using laparoscopy. Only in certain rare circumstances will the procedure be converted to traditional open surgery.

In addition to allowing for a shorter hospital stay and overall recovery, laparoscopic surgery significantly reduces the risks of:

• Incisional hernia
• Pain
• Blood loss
• And infection
